Difficulties in designing a hospital security system
Access control and security in a hospital is a challenge, with open areas for patients and private areas for staff, and expensive medical devices are left everywhere. It is generally said that there are many challenges to ensuring security within hospitals. Hospitals are fundamentally accessible to everyone, 24 hours a day. Hospital buildings are often…

What should you be aware of when using DIY security products?
*Although DIY products are inexpensive, problems can arise when it comes to maintaining the equipment and receiving the expected level of service. Some people purchase security products at home improvement retailers and install them as a DIY project. However, if you are choosing, installing, and monitoring your own security equipment rather than relying on a…

Advantages of Ceiling-mounted Passive Infrared Detector
If you want to emphasize aesthetics and avoid disturbances…, Passive infrared detectors can be roughly categorized into two types: wall-mounted type and ceiling-mounted type. The wall-mounted detectors are often used, especially in older buildings made of stone, where the ceilings are high and there is no space to hide the wiring. However, with wall-mounted detectors,…

Why not use alarm signals in controlling the building facilities?
Alarm signals can be used to control various electrical equipment in the building. The arm/disarm and alarm signals of intrusion alarm systems should be used more effectively to control electrical equipment in tenant buildings. In particular, automating access control processes is expected to be more effective when integrated with intrusion alarm systems. For example, when…

The advantages and limitations of A.I. Video Processing
While artificial intelligence-based video processing can be useful for raising alerts and identifying potential anomalies, it cannot be relied upon completely. Video Surveillance Systems that utilize artificial intelligence (A.I.) for image processing and alarm detection are becoming increasingly common. Human operators have limitations in terms of the number of monitors they can simultaneously watch and…

Problems with wireless sensors
When using wireless sensors, we need to pay attention to factors such as communication range, radio interference, and battery life. There are some important considerations when using wireless detectors that are different from the wired detector. First, since they are battery-powered, their detection and communication functions degrade as the battery runs low. Therefore, it is…

What is ADPLEX system in particular?
Differences from conventional detectors: ADPLEX system offers better and advanced communication management between ADPLEX sensor and control unit and is easier to install and maintain. The ADPLEX system is a multi-function communication system for security system sensors, developed by KingSecurity. Using a simple two-wire connection, it enables bidirectional communication of analog and digital data from…

Do you know the difference between a sensor and a detector?
Unlike a sensor, a detector determines the alarm status on its own. Detectors autonomously determine when an alarm condition occurs and output an alarm signal. The primary function of a sensor, on the other hand, is to transmit status signals. A higher-level device determines whether an alarm condition exists. For this reason, detector systems are…

How to enhance the physical security of ATMs?
When you think it is so hard to set up the sensitivity of shock sensors…, When installing shock sensors on an ATM, do you often suffer from false alarms? If the sensitivity of the sensor is set too high, a large truck passing nearby might trigger an alarm. On the other hand, if the sensitivity…

Favorable linkage between WOS and nurse call system
If WOS is linked to an existing nurse call system, the patient’s behavior or movements can be checked remotely with silhouette images. If you’ve been using nurse call systems connected to mattress sensors or bed sensors for patient monitoring, you may have encountered situations that you weren’t sure how to respond when a sensor triggered,…
